7       program, 1-9)

SYNOPSIS

11       col1 [SEPARATOR]
12
13

DESCRIPTION

15       col1 is a simple script that conveniently splits  and  prints  a  given
16       column,  where  the  column  to print is the name of the script program
17       you're running (col1-col9).  col2-col9  are  symlinks  to  col1;  their
18       behavior simply changes based on the name called.
19
20       NF can be used to print the last field.
21
22       The  program  takes  one  optional  argument, the input field separator
23       (whitespace, by default).

EXAMPLES

27       Rather than:
28        mount | awk '{print $3}'
29
30       Try:
31        mount | col3
32
33       Instead of:
34        cat /etc/passwd | awk -F":" '{print $7}'
35
36       You can just do:
37        cat /etc/passwd | col7 :
38
39       Or
40        cat /etc/passwd | NF :
